John Robinson
Open Letter
At first I witnessed
A storm of colour
Preening itself with
The remainder of a lost
Story, written for you
So many years ago.
When
Remember as we would
the cool touch of dew
saturated apples,
dangling like green
moons before us,
swaying gently as
Chinese lanterns hanging
from a small vessel,
moving slowly upstream.
